सुधारयं च भुज्जीत अमृतोपममुत्तमम् । उस दिव्य लोकमें वह एक हजार कल्पोंतक देवकन्याओंके साथ आनन्द भोगता और अमृतके समान उत्तम सुधारसका पान करता है
sudhārasaṃ ca bhuñjīta amṛtopamam uttamam |
Wika ni Bhishma: “Titikman niya ang dakilang sudhā-rasa, na tulad ng amṛta. Sa makalangit na daigdig na iyon, makikipagdiwang siya ng ligaya kasama ng mga dalagang makalangit sa loob ng isang libong kalpa, umiinom ng pinakadakilang diwang kahambing ng kawalang-kamatayan.”

Bhishma emphasizes the karmic fruit of dharmic conduct: righteous merit leads to exalted post-mortem enjoyment in heavenly realms, symbolized by the drinking of sudhā (nectar) and long-lasting bliss.
Bhishma is describing the reward attained by a meritorious person: residence in a divine world, companionship of celestial maidens, and the enjoyment of supreme nectar-like sustenance for an immense duration (a thousand kalpas).
